It's not as bulky as a 5, but has more presence than a 1. The lockdown from the wing eyelets is a signature feature. If you like the Jordan series but want something distinctive, this is a great middle ground. Who might want to skip? If you prioritize cloud-like comfort above all else, maybe pass. Also, if you have a wider foot, the fit can be snug. And for pure basketball? I'd recommend a modern performance model. This "Jordan 4" is about style and heritage, not cutting-edge court feel. Let's talk on-feet. Slipping into this "Jordan 4", the fit is true to size for me. The support around the ankle is "immediate" – you really feel locked in. It's not the lightest shoe, you definitely notice the weight, but it's not uncomfortable. The cushioning from the Air unit is there, but it's more about stability than crazy softness, which I actually prefer for all-day wear. To wrap it up: The "Air Jordan 4" delivers what it promises—a stylish, well-built retro basketball sneaker. It has its flaws (comfort isn't top-tier), but its strengths (design, durability) are why it's loved. Would I recommend it? Yes, if you value design history and a solid wardrobe staple. Just manage your comfort expectations out of the box.
